My First ROW80 Check In of 2013
January 9, 2013 at 10:14 pm 8 comments
This first check in feels way too early. Usually the weekly gap is Sunday to Wednesday, but goals were written on Monday, so it’s been a day less. I wrote my goals Monday night, so only 48 hours. I haven’t done anything tonight either, so really only 1 day. He he.
Here are my goals and how I’m doing with them:
7 hours working on TMOMD: I worked on it last night, for maybe an hour. It’s not a lot, but it’s probably the most important – the first one. I’ve started on it. WOO HOO. OK, so I’m only reading and making notes, but it’s a start. A START!
7 hours working on my writing course: Nothing, yet.
1 book review on here, and one for Novel Kicks: Neither, yet.
2 Check in blogs: This is one, second will be Sunday.
Decide on reading challenges for the year and blog about them: Complete. I’ve decided to do The Crafty Book Nerd’s Mystery/Crime Reading Challenge and Roof Beam Reader’s TBR Pile Challenge. I’m really excited about them.
Burn 1500 Kcals through exercise (above normal walking to/from work): So far I’ve burnt about 400, walking between my office buildings. I was planning on being much higher by today, but I had a migraine on Monday, which stopped me going to the gym, then I still wasn’t feeling great yesterday. Tomorrow I hope will be the day, maybe Friday because it will be quieter.
2 fasting days: Today is the first. I’ve just craved in and had a chocolate bar, which means iI’ve had 600 cals today. I’m a little annoyed with myself, I really was trying for 500, but I’m still proud of myself.
It’s not all good, but it’s certainly not all bad, so I’m happy. Here’s to the rest of the week.

The first check-in felt a bit early for me, too. I am a first timer at ROW 80 challenge. All the best for your fast. Happy editing!

When I read you 1500 through exercise I went all “Whoa!” and made a face like (O_O). I wish you extra luck on that and general luck on the rest. You got started and that’s what matters. You’ll pick things up soon, I’m sure of it.

Thanks. It is a lot, but it’s possible. Last week I burnt 1300…
